I hope you are reading these! I didn't know much about you or how you would handle the new films, but after reading your interview here, I am not only relieved but extremely excited! Ian McKellan? Yay! A "must" in my eyes.

Oh please, oh please sign Hugo Weaving for Elrond. I know it may take just a bit of work to make him "ageless" but he is the quintessential Elrond for many fans!

I am so looking forward to these films. Seeing the picture of you reverently holding The Hobbit told me a lot! Knowing Peter Jackson and Weta will be involved again set my mind at ease.
